Am I the only one that thinks that Schwab's Vicious series is worthy of a TV show? Imagine the director being the same director as Dexter, Breaking Bad, Killing Eve or something... and get bought by the HBO channel or Netflix - they could make it as good as You, but it could be a sci-fi, anti-hero fantasy series with a lot of plot twists, drama, murder, suspense with no limits to how explicit it is. Victor is a bi-romantic (or pan-romantic) asexual (idk if it's confirmed, I'm guessing the bi/pan-romantic part).

I'd also love to see likable villains that aren't men. I want more sexy, confident and lethal women as villains that I root for like I do for male villains in most superhero movies/TV shows. I'm picturing something like Jade Pinkett Smith on Gotham. I hope this isn't just wishful thinking... Reading these short comics makes me realize how good a proper high budged TV show would be. It'd be better than Shadow & Bone as well which I think they did a great job with compared to other book to movies/series comparisons.

An exciting build up to what I know is going to be a fun showdown between Charlotte and Eli!

Está bueno seguir viendo el mundo de villains pero esperaba que agregara algo a la historia y como la mayoria de los protagonistas son nuevos, no pasa eso.
Igual es entretenido.
Puntaje: 4🌟

Robi się ciekawiej i szczerze mówiąc wkręciłam się

These really are just... way too short for what they are, honestly. I'm really intrigued by the story - being back in this universe is a lot of fun - but hardly anything happens in each issue, especially once you take out the summary page and all the alternative covers. (Don't get me wrong, I love the alternate cover art, but once you remove those last 5 or 6 pages, there's really not much left in each issue.) I really wish there was just more to these.

[Sarvenaz · Rating 2 out of 5]

at first i was like naur this kind of power would drive me insane and also it's toying with the whole fate concept (Victor pookie penny for your thoughts) but i also think this sort of power is fulfilling for the curious

I NEED MORE OF THIS SERIES PLEASE.

[Louisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yeah, really enjoying Charlotte's story! Must read more!

[zaynah ☾ · Rating 3 out of 5]

These are so short it’s actually a crime. Every time you feel like you’re getting somewhere, it ENDS. Need more Charlotte content before this is officially over.

[Theophila · Rating 5 out of 5]

show time, baby.

[Jacquie Stewart · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm going go take off a star for how short these are. I'd be willing to pay a little more for a few more pages. It feels like it gets going only to stop. There's a recap which I don't read because I don't need it. Several of the pages are alternative covers, which are lovely, but I want more story

Luego de sufrir un trágico accidente de tránsito, Charlotte Tills descubre que lo que sería en fin de su vida es en realidad el comienzo de una nueva. Una vida en la que ahora tiene extraños poderes sobrenaturales.

Charlotte ahora es una ExtraOrdinaria y tiene la habilidad de ver la muerte de otras personas. Trastornada, busca huir de sus nuevas habilidades; sin embargo, todo cambia para Charlotte cuando ve su propia muerte a manos de Eli, un asesino de la organización ONE.

Sin otro destino más que escapar del futuro, Charlotte se encontrará con aliados en el camino, quienes la ayudarán a entender sus poderes y usarlos para salir viva de esta enmarañada aventura que no solo la podrá en peligro a ella, sino a las personas cercanas a ella.

En ExtraOrdinarios, la autora bestseller #1 del New York Times, V. E. Schwab, nos cuenta, a través de unas asombrosas ilustraciones realizadas por el mexicano y narrador gráfico Enid Balám, una historia dentro del mundo de la serie literaria Villanos.

“But I’ve already died once, and I can’t sit around, waiting for it to happen again. I can’t live like that.”

Charlotte has just been rescued by Felix, an EO with powers of lightning and electricity, and Marshall, a tech genius partner-in-crime of Felix. Together with her new friends, she starts hatching a plan to help another EO and to get rid of Eli Ever.

This issue was mostly just alright. The story feels like it is moving a bit too fast, and that Charlotte isn't given enough time to actually digest her new powers. The pacing is very fast! I hope the story will slow down at some point at least a little bit so we can a) learn more about Felix and Marshall, and b) get more time with Charlotte and her emotions on her new situation. I also don't find it all too realistic that she would so easily trust Felix and Marshall, both of whom she has only just met and doesn't know at all. But I think there is potential for them to become a very nice trio.

Eagerly waiting for the fourth issue!

Charlotte's been saved from falling in the grasp of EON but she hasn't abandoned her idea: getting close to Eli, will she team up with Felix and Marshall?

Well, I'll just say it: Felix and Marshall remind me of Victor and Mitchell

Can't wait for the final chapter in September 🤩

[Laura · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ugh, I can't wait for the next one! This was really enjoyable! They are so short, though!

[Tina · Rating 5 out of 5]

There is no way for me to give this less then 5 stars. I will devour everything there is in the Villains universe

[Samantha Glass · Rating 5 out of 5]

The story. The art. All of it together. Perfect!

[Charlie Choups · Rating 4 out of 5]

*4.5 Best one so far !

[Crystal · Rating 3 out of 5]

Way to short. Its so short that as soon as the intro to the plot takes place it is over with. This is more like a handful of pages for one book instead of book #3 in a series.

[Elizabeth (Miss Eliza) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hot damn they used her as a Trojan Horse! I need the next issue now!

[Zoe · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Stefanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love V E Schwab, I really do, but these are so short they're just barely worth reading.

[Kayla · Rating 3 out of 5]

For a story arc that only lasts four issues, I thought there would be more substance on the pages to push the plot forward a little faster.

[Zerlina ☕️ · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5/5 ⭐️

[Kirsten Moody · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 stars.

See review for vol 4 for my thoughts overall.
